ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

Hi There,

Great work on the shipping module !!

I have it installed & operational.

The items in my shop are quite large & I am having problems if shipping more than 1 item as the combined total of all items exceeds the OzPost maximium. It seems it doesn't see the items as being seperate boxes and adds ALL together for 1 global package.
I can not seem to find any facility in your Module or Zencart to split the shipping of the items to be indiviually boxed, packaged.

Using latest Zen & also your module.

Is there a script hack to enable this or is it a core rewrite for the next version ?

Regards

This particular module currently has no means of splitting parcels that exceed to 20kg limit.

I do plan on re-adding this functionality in a later update, but I can't give an estimate of when this will be.

Until I do so, you might want to consider using the older 'AustPost Improved' module (which honours the zen-cart 'maximum shipping weight' setting and provides a quote on multiple parcels.

The primary reason for wanting to redo this part of the code in 'ozpost' is because the zen-cart method used in the AustPost Improved module has no means of taking the parcel size into consideration, which depending on the products size/weight ratio would often cause significant quotation errors (at best), and would often divide parcels in impossible ways (at worst).

In other words, even though the AustPost Improved module may be better for your needs at the moment, it does come with an element of risk that you will need to closely monitor for such errors.

Cheers
